@dogukancagatay Your instructions worked for me but only after a few adjustments. For instance, I was missing runc and uidmap (which wasn't necessary for installation but e.g. for buildah login, cf. this comment in the skopeo repo). I also installed them via apt. Maybe you could add them to the list of dependencies. Also your approach with goenv didn't work for me at first, so I simply installed go following the instructions here. I encountered an error in the make command which I fixed loosely following this article.
Except for the runc dependency I wouldn't suggest changing your instructions though, but maybe if someone encounters the same problems as me in the future these resources will help.

For anyone still stuck with this, this works. 😄 https://fabianlee.org/2022/08/02/buildah-installing-buildah-and-podman-on-ubuntu-20-04/

This works for me with Ubuntu 20.04 in Azure. I am using this to update the Azure DevOps agents because I am using buildah in the pipelines.
However, every now and then I get:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend. It is held by process NNNN (apt-get)

On the install command, as it seems the update command leaves something in background and returns control before finishing... That is not very nice for unattended scripts.

Worked for me, thank you.

Also I'm pasting same instructions just in case something happens to the site hosting them

# prereq packages
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -y wget ca-certificates gnupg2

# add repo and signing key
VERSION_ID=$(lsb_release -r | cut -f2)

echo "deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic:/libcontainers:/stable/xUbuntu_${VERSION_ID}/ /" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devel-kubic-libcontainers-stable.list

curl -Ls https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:kubic:libcontainers:stable/xUbuntu_$VERSION_ID/Release.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

# install buildah and podman
sudo apt install buildah podman -y

@theJaxon thanks your answer works for me
